HTC One X Otterbox Commuter Hands-on

While walking around visiting some of my favorite booths down here at CTIA I came across the Otterbox booth and decided to check and see if they happened to have anything new on display. Of course, front and center of the display was their new Commuter Series case for the HTC One X! Odds are that you have already seen an Otterbox case or a hundred before, so you know what they are all about, and this follows the same design principle. This two piece case has a silicon case underneath their hard shell, and the one I saw was in a rather stunning blue.

At first I was a bit fearful of the thought of adding a case to the device because it has such beautiful lines as it is, and I know folks who own the device wouldn't want to give that up. Otterbox has done an excellent job with this case in recreating the lines of the device through the case, and adding a lot of protection with little sacrifice. Hit the break with us to check out a couple more shots, and stay tuned for a full review!

Will the same case work with the One X and the One XL? I read something somewhere (no source cited) that said for some reason the two were a fraction of a millimeter different in height, and that that might affect what cases would work with which one.

I've owned more smart phones than I can even remember and have never used a case until I got my most recent phone. I bought a used galaxy nexus that had been dropped hard and dinged the corner pretty badly. Looking at it drove me nuts, so I decided that I needed to buy a case for it. I've been through five cases of different types and the otterbox commuter is by far my favorite. It looks the best in my opinion, fits the best, and I think that the buttons feel and operate better than they do without a case. I actually like the case so much that I will probably buy one for my next phone too.
